Predators-Maple Leafs Preview and available for view here: FS-TN, Leafs TV
The Maple Leafs (16-20-6) have struggled to score goals lately in any situation, averaging 1.9 during their 2-7-0 stretch. For the fourth time during that span, Toronto managed only one goal - Alexei Ponikarovsky's team-leading 14th - in a 4-1 loss Saturday at Philadelphia.
"We had a lot of shots, but we just couldn't put the puck in the net," Leafs goalie Vesa Toskala said.
Nashville (19-20-3) offense could get a boost if a pair of forwards return. Steve Sullivan played his first game since Feb. 2007, on Saturday, but was held out Sunday as a precautionary measure as he continues to recover from two back operations.
Predators leading goal scorer Jason Arnott, who suffered a lower-body injury Saturday against Chicago, could return either Tuesday or Thursday at Montreal - the finale of this three-game road trip.
